HOW DOES IT WORK?

If your vehicle is stolen or written off as a result of an accident, fire or theft, most insurers will only pay out the market value for your vehicle, even if the claim was not your fault. Depending on the age and mileage of your vehicle at the time of loss, the market value may be substantially less than the outstanding finance owed on it. 

Our Contract Hire GAP Insurance covers the difference between the motor insurer’s write off settlement, and the outstanding payment to the end of your Contract Hire or Lease agreement. Meaning, you can protect yourself against the risk of financial shortfall and make sure you will not be paying for a vehicle you can not use. 

With the added benefit of Temporary Vehicle Replacement, In the event of a Total Loss, the policy will pay a contribution towards a temporary replacement vehicle. Where possible, the administrator, on behalf of the insurer, will arrange a third part to provide you with a temporary replacement vehicle which will be up to a maximum of 2000cc and could be of any make or model available at the time.

YOU WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE POLICY IF YOU ARE:
